Exploring a systems approach to healthy ageing in India
Illustration by Josie Ford.
What lies beneath the surface of the healthy ageing iceberg in India? Promoting healthy ageing in India is complex, with a number of sectors, actors and systems in play. Several demographic, socio-economic and geographical factors impact access to resources and wellbeing. In the visual below, the CAN team would like to understand the complexity relating to healthy ageing in India, and these initial visuals start to highlight some aspects. The schematic is guided by and has explicit links to the WHO Age-friendly Cities Framework.
